pains about the chest and sides,

They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi-

of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be-

gloomy, and has evil forebod-

sort Of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up sud-

SOME SOLID SENSE.

BOonville Advertiser r:-"There have
been only two objections of any con-
sequence urged to the passage OF q
railroad bill. The first, that the inter-
state commerce law covers the ground
and should be first given q trial, is
without force when it is remembered
this law applies only to Interstate COM
merce, not to transportation within
the states. Something is needed to
prevent pooling, discrimination and
extortion within Missouri's borders.
The second objection, that the passage
of the bill will prevent railroad build
ing, is groundless, also. A similar
law exists in Georgia, and no southern
state has more railroads than the Gem
pire state of the SOUTH" Why should
such legislation have different effect

WORK ON THE EXTENSION.

Marshall, Mo-, March 29.-Chief Engineer
Henry Mclaughlin and Superintendent of
Construction A. S. Blodgett were here to-
day to consult with Engineer Gus Knoble,
who Is locating the Missouri Pacific extern
sion. They went over the route Of the spur,
which is to run into Marshall from the main
line. 1t will run up the hollow that passes
by the gas works, and the depot will be near
there and only very short distance from the
Chicago and Alton depot. Mclaughlin,
Blodgett and Knoble also went out to where
the Missouri Pacific crosses the Chicago and
Alton, about two and one-half miles from
Marshall. They came to the conclusion to
run under the Chicago and Alton. To do this
the Chicago and Alton track will have to be
raised about six feet, but as this is a low
point. it Is claimed 1t will improve the grade.
| 1t ls understood that Mr.. knobel and his men
will 60 back to the mouth of Salt Fork before
going further west, to correct some curves
and Go away with two bridges When he
made his survey, Mr.. knobel had orders re-
strcting him to four degree curves. To
make these he had to cross the Salt Fork
three times before reaching Marshall. He
Is now allowed six degree curves, and thinks
he can 60 back and keep on the east side of
Salt Fork until he reaches Paurs Ford. three
miles below here, thus doing away with two
of the bridges.

street Boys Of New York.

The street 1ys are peculiar class.
Dependent entirely upon their own re-
sources, and having no references, they
live by their wits. Some take to selling
newspapers, and there are nearly 5000 in
that branch of business two-thirds OF
them being without homes. These boys
also work in the markets or black boots in
the hours when there are no newspapers
to sell, though the latter employment is
now almost entirely absorbed by the
Italians. The homeless boy is self reliant
and generally honest, but sharp by his
constant rubbing on the stern side of city
life.
Frequently homeless boy makes his
mark in the world. One of this class be-
came /. newsboy, and, being industrious
and frugal, saved money enough to start
street stand His business grew and he
employed other boys on cars and In the
street. Finally he purchased the exclu-
Fsive right for his boys to enter the Third
in their caps to distinguish them, and at
one time this boy, though only IA years
of age, had over fifty boys on his pay roll.
Then he contracted for the right to sell
newspapers on q leading trunk railway
from Jersey City to Buffalo, but his ca
reer was suddenly cut short by his being
killed on a train. 1t was then found that
lie had some $4,000 in bank, and he lived
long enough to make will and appoint
trustees So that his savings might sup
port and educate younger sister. This
boy died i'll his 18th year, and had he
lived he would undoubtedly have been a
very rich man.-New York Star.
